Impromptu Inferences

Hey all, this is a real thing in my words for all of you. It is about railway journey, though it might sound little strange as i am sure many of us now travel by air only. Hope it takes you down the memory lane of the days of long travels by train with lots of luggage and plans to keep ourselves busy with books and eatables. It starts with reserving your berth and the railway reservations, these days are like an exam. If you have a confirmed ticket you are pass else you are fail. The result of booking 26 days in advance was out and I passed. The scheduled departure was at 5.30 and the result was out at 2.30 on internet. A copy for reference is also pasted there on the Bogie near the entrance. People just for safety check their seats but I always check the details of fellow passengers and sometimes even the passengers of the full bogie hoping i might know a name and can meet and catch up with them. I didn’t top this time as my number was 4 but it was still satisfactory seeing F30 @ 1 and i was happy to know that she was to get down beyond my destination. An uncle @ 2 and a captain saab @ 3 so the equation prima-facie appeared to be fairly balanced. As I boarded the train a bit late, captain saab had already taken the lead by helping F30 in luggage adjustment.
Finally the train started at 5.30, by now F30, a typical punjaban from Delhi, had already full attention of all of us by talking with complete expressions on phone, adjusting herself every minute and doing all possible things. Everything was perfect about her, cute face, blue eyes, athletic shoulder, slender legs, specific to mention the ponytail, a wholesome pretty girl. She was loud enough to keep others silent and the next action was only possible after the signal drop. So once the mobile was free, she glanced around and posted the option to score for second point.
It was my wrong assumption only, that the equation was balanced, as after captain saab scoring a point(of helping her with the luggage) the good old Uncle took the lead. A typical encyclopedia Uncle asking who’s who and whereabouts and he was so excited that he even asked the name of the chaiwala which he aptly replied by saying “khulla paisa hai to hi chai dunga”. Well courtesy Uncle four of us had free tea; or rather courtesy F30, I and captain saab had free tea. Uncle scored the consecutive point by predicting the time of train arrival @ Delhi, as if he only is driving it. Not stopping there he scored the third point by fixing the mobile charger socket. Oh Uncle the All-rounder.
In no-time Uncle was leading the tally and I was still to open my account. Captain saab in lookout for the next point took out his novel to read or rather to show and just to show kept it on the berth and F30 suddenly realised it was a romantic novel and praised captain saab for his choice. At last captain’s second point scored. Uncle was not happy with romantic novel point and felt cheated but somehow managed his expression.
I was waiting for my turn to score and thinking how to go about it, being a management graduate i wanted to be the best of all infact i wanted to show that there is no competition itself and suddenly we all heard a beep, i had got a sms, i took out my mobile to read it and F30 asked “hey, is the network on?” and I nodded. While reading my sms, i assumed that now i can start our ever lasting conversation of the latest topics which shall not be of any interest to Uncleji or Captain Saab but she took out her cell, checked the signal and immediately called up and we were about to witness another tele-talk though this time she was surprisingly soft as she said “now only few days are left and I will be all yours”. Suddenly the Uncle realised he is an “Uncle” and has some back pain so opted to take rest. Captain Saab realised that he has to prepare some notes and I thought of writing this out to share.

….. i was lost …..

The feeling was scaring than the most haunted nightmare I ever had. I was looking for an open door but couldn’t even find a door and got perplexed. The conundrum was like a black and dense night – unwilling to be solved – and I was lost, but wait a minute I can recall my last moment on Earth – I was discovering the most communicative feature made by GOD – two crystal clear lakes, don’t get confused, I was not sitting near to either a mountain or an ocean, I was not feeling lonely either, go up to the second line, I was confused, so where was I – yes, two crystal clear lakes, it was only the first moment when I met an angel in human disguise, I could not bank on her face and don’t know when she took me through her glistening eyes, nothing was working as if the world lost its life but suddenly with a rush of blood through my head, there came a realization and it was sweeter than the sweetest potion I ever had. Now going back to my last moment on Earth, I asked for sky and got a sky full of stars and a beautiful moon. Now going back again into where I was lost, they were two crystal clear lakes – deep blue eyes – as if created specially for the most beautiful damsel. Its awesome and I was flabbergasted to learn that why people go to moon, mars to search for another life, when they have another world here. You only need to have the beautiful outlook to identify the sixth world, the world of peace and love, where people don’t speak, as they don’t have to, as they communicate with their eyes. They not only communicate, but they spread love and passion through them. WOW such a philanthropic thought, but everything goes in vain when your favorite pussycat assaults you. Oh! My God, such rude end to such a beauty full dream.
